Kamala’s media blitz

Kamala Harris is going on a strategic media blitz to rally voters before the election, says The Independent. She's hitting up shows like The View, The Late Show, and Howard Stern to connect with diverse audiences.

CNBC: Harris's media spree is all about fighting Trump's high visibility. With early voting heating up, both camps are battling for airtime.

By the way, says The Guardian, Harris and Walz plan to get serious during these talks. The plan is to tackle issues like the economy and women's rights, key topics for the election.

Deadline: Harris's blitz includes a Univision town hall. She's shifting gears from local media to big national interviews, timing it for when early voting kicks in.

AOL agrees – it’s clear she’s trying to sync the appearances with early voting. She’s also targeting battleground states, hoping to swing the tide in a neck-and-neck race.

Elon & Trump together

Elon Musk joined Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of Trump’s first assassination attempt. The Hill says their theme was that Democrats want to take away freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, and the right to vote effectively.

NY Post said Elon sure seemed excited. He was jumping up and down!

CNN: It’s a huge political statement. Musk's presence at the rally suggests aligning political support for Trump, especially significant in such a charged setting.

Al Jazeera agrees: No matter how you slice it, the two are getting closer and closer.
